The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what transport infrastructure projects in the 2024 Labour Party manifesto have been (a) completed, (b) commenced, (c) delayed or (d) cancelled.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The 2024 Labour Party election manifesto made the following two pledges for transport infrastructure projects.
To fix an additional 1 million potholes across England each year, funded by reallocating money from the previously cancelled A27 bypass. We are backing local highways authorities with a record multi-year investment to improve the condition of their roads, after years of them calling for long-term certainty.
In addition, to accelerate the rollout of electric vehicle (EV) charge points and restoring the 2030 phase-out date for the sale of new internal combustion engine cars, which has now been completed.
As of 1 May 2026, in the United Kingdom, there were:
- 120,388 public EV chargers
In the last 12 months, in the United Kingdom, there was an average of:
- 32 public EV chargers added to the network per day
- 10 public EV chargers rated rapid or above (50kW+) added to the network per day
